I’m very skeptical that waters claiming to be from a spring are actually from a spring.

I suspect it’s very loosely defined that almost anything would qualify as spring water. If someone else has time to jump down that rabbit hole let me know

This is a fair point too. I am definitely not a hydrologist so you could be correct.

I’m not going to put a lot value in information provided by a bottle water industry trade group

It’s an association that many major water bottle brands are members of, such as Aquafina and Deer Park. The page linked is a quick reference that breaks down types of bottled water, including spring water.
